Lecture

Properties of Materials and Structural Design

Description

This lecture covers the properties of materials and the principles of structural design. It includes topics such as elasticity, linearity, reversibility, stiffness, stress and strain, common construction materials like steel, concrete, wood, and glass, their main properties, including strength, elasticity modules, and failure modes. The lecture also discusses ductility, fragility, and the principles of structural design to ensure safety and proper utilization while limiting deformations. An example of designing an elevator is presented to illustrate the application of the concepts discussed.
